Meet Verena & Abdallah | Current Action: Supporting Operation Olive Branch & Abdallah's family in Gaza
[This fundraiser is vetted through Operation Olive Branch.]
Stranger Fans 4 Humankind is boosting the fundraiser of Verena & Abdallah to help Abdallah's family escape Gaza to safety. The ask is small - $5 (€5) or simply your time! Together we can make a huge difference for one family.
Abdallah is a medical student in Munich, Germany, and also works at a local nursing home. He is pictured above with his fiancée Verena, who is assisting with the fundraiser for his family who are trapped in Gaza.
Abdallah's 71-year-old father has lymphoma and urgently needs medical treatment. His sister is caring for four minor children amidst the crisis in Gaza. The family lives in constant fear of bombings, living with no electricity and struggling to get food.
Amid power outages and dwindling food supplies, my fiancée’s sister’s son battles fire and wood outside to prepare food. The food supplied by organizations is often expired and is no longer edible. The emergency in Gaza is more urgent than ever.
Read more about Abdallah's family, along with what you can do to support this effort through Stranger Fans 4 Humankind!
I was baking a cake (not something that I usually do), but all the ingredients I had were: parsley, butter, glue, color, and "frost frost" (an informal term for ice in my dream).
Action: Supporting Operation Olive Branch & Hedaya's family in Gaza
Operation Olive Branch is a grassroots, volunteer-run project to boost Palestinian voices & coordinate mutual aid. They have a spreadsheet of fundraisers to provide mutual aid for families in Gaza. All fundraisers are vetted through OOB to check that the organizers are legitimate.
Hedaya Mohamed is raising funds to evacuate her six family members from Gaza. Multiple family members have disabilities and physical and mental health challenges due to continued violence by the Israeli government against people in Gaza. The spreadsheet also indicates there is someone pregnant, which is not mentioned specifically on the fundraiser page.
My uncle is an amputee struggling with heart failure and diabetes. My cousins are ages 16-21 years old, grappling with both mental and physical health challenges with limited access to food, water, and medicine. My cousin Khaled is a nurse at Nasser Medical Complex, suffering severe trauma. My cousin Malak is an incredible artist and designer- Gazans have dreams, they deserve to live in safety.
Here is what you can do to help!

Today, I've been torturing my friends with the worst bread I've ever tried. It's completely flavorless but in a very intense and disgusting way. As soon as I touch it I'm wishing that it had any other flavor, anything. It got two 'this is the worst bread I have ever tasted and I never want to eat it again' reviews, and the most positive one said that it's good enough if you want something really cheap. Except that it wasn't even cheap
0/10 just stab me next time, it would be less painful

Verena and Abdallah are raising funds to evacuate Abdallah's father, sister, and her four children from Gaza amidst the ongoing violence from the Israeli government.
Abdallah's father, aged 71, is battling lymphoma and urgently requires medical care that is unavailable due to the ongoing conflict ... His condition is deteriorating rapidly, and any delay in treatment could cost him his life.
Additionally, Abdallah's sister suffers under the oppressive conditions in Gaza. She faces the daunting task of protecting and providing for her four minor children amidst the conflict. Your donations can help us procure food and medicine to ensure the survival of my fiancé's family, his sister, and her four children in Gaza. If enough funds can be raised and evacuation is possible, we could offer them a chance at safety and a better future.
